Schlitterbahn to open world’s longest lazy river

The Falls has “raging rapids, careening waterfalls and giant waves,” park officials said in a prepared statement. It is a continuous rushing river that also features a ride up a conveyor belt lift back to the beginning of the ride.

The park will also have the Deluge Whirlpool River, described as a swift-moving canyon with waves. The serpentine river also connects to The Falls.

Schlitterbahn also is adding “multiple” Treehaus lodging units, beaches, new lounging locations, the Grand Lawn event area, large family-size cabanas and the Wasserstrasse river walk along the banks of the Comal River.

Other additions include the secluded Boogie Bay Hot Tub and the Boogie Bay Kids’ Area.
